During monitoring campaigns and target of opportunity observations, several high flux states could be identified. The high photon statistics obtained during these states allow us to probe phenomena affecting VHE 𝛾 -ray propagation across cosmic distances. Interaction of these photons with the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) causes an attenuation, leading to an observed cut-off in the spectra of very high energy sources. Observations of M87 can be utilized to make measurements of the local EBL, specifically in the far infrared range. Furthermore, M87 is located at the heart of the nearby Virgo galaxy cluster located 18 Mpc away which is host to an intra-cluster magnetic field calculated at 34.2 𝜇 G. This allows us the opportunity to probe for effects of the mixing of light pseudo-scalar Axion Like Particles (ALPs) with photon states. These dark matter candidates are predicted to exhibit an oscillation effect in the presence of magnetic fields, oscillating between photon and ALP states. This energy-dependent effect would lead to the disappearance of photons, which would result in measurable “wiggles\" in the source’s spectra.

As a result, the Fermi-LAT has been serving the time-domain and multi-messenger community as the main source of gamma-ray activity alerts. All of this makes the Fermi-LAT a key instrument towards understanding the underlying physics behind the most extreme objects in the universe. However, generating mission-long LAT light curves can be very computationally expensive. The Fermi-LAT light curve repository (LCR) tackles this issue. The LCR is a public library of gamma-ray light curves for 1525 Fermi-LAT sources deemed variable in the 4FGL-DR2 catalog. The repository consists of light curves on timescales of days, weeks, and months, generated through a full-likelihood unbinned analysis of the source and surrounding region, providing flux and photon index measurements for each time interval. Hosted at NASA's FSSC, the library provides users with access to this continually updated light curve data, further serving as a resource to the time-domain and multi-messenger communities.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130480123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These instruments observe scintillation light from multiple Compton scattering and photoabsorption of gamma-ray photons across a series of CsI detector layers. We infer the incident angle of each photon’s first scattering to localize its source direction to a Compton ring about the vector defined by its first two interactions, then intersect rings from multiple photons to identify the GRB’s source direction. We first describe algorithmic improvements that enhance localization accuracy (measured in our previous GEANT4 model of APT) while running in under 0.5 seconds on a low-power ARMv8 processor – fast enough to permit real-time redirection of other instruments for follow-up observations. We then study our pipeline’s behavior using a model of the smaller ADAPT detector that incorporates realistic estimates of instrument noise and atmospheric background radiation. Adding SiPM-based edge detectors , which gather more light from each scintillation, greatly benefits ADAPT’s localization accuracy. We expect that ADAPT can localize normally-incident GRBs of fluence 1 MeV/cm 2 over one second to within 2-3 degrees at least 68% of the time. The full APT instrument, with its larger detector area and lack of atmospheric background, should be substantially more accurate even on GRBs of fluence less than 0 . 1 MeV/cm 2","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"11 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133700471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
